Welcome to Wicklow County Council Free Text Alert Service

Wicklow County recognises the value of providing relevant and timely information to the citizens of County Wicklow. In an effort to keep the public informed of emergency situations that inevitably
occur from time to time and have an impact on our day to day lives, the Council has developed a short messaging service (SMS) ‘Text Alerts’ for a range of County Council areas. Beneficial information
on severe weather alerts, emergency road works and closures, instances of flooding and planned water disruptions can be communicated through SMS.

Members of the public are invited to sign up to receive alerts based on geographic location, i.e. the five Municipal District areas of Bray, Greystones, Arklow, Wicklow and Baltinglass. This means that

and relevant information from the Council to the consumer in the following areas:-
